Almost There

So this will hopefully be the final update on the money, because after this, either I will have bought the 003 or have enough to do so.
As of right now, I have 325$ in cash, a check for 128$, my dad owes me an aditional 56$, and as of today, I am owed about 240$ from park st, also, once I finish painting the basement next door, I'll have another 100$ which puts me at roughly 850$. I should be able to make 900$ by Sunday.
Currently, my only problem with my original plan, is that the website where I've been planning on buying it, is now out of stock. So I am at the will of B&H right now.
Until they get back in stock, it doesn't really matter when I get enough cash.
Maybe I'll be able to save enough for the MicroKorg by the time I have enough, which is another 400$ or a little less.
Update: I'm getting another 60$ by tommorow. 10$ for golf balls and 50$ for the old dog crate! Almost there!

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, And Then I Trip

So about the whole money thing, I kinda ordered a snare drum. Just one drum. Just a snare. So that has now set me back 130$. Here it is... http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ludwig-Epic-Snare-Drum?sku=500577
If anyone knows how to make that link into a clickable word, like on a legit site, hit me up.
But anyway, by my math, this means I only have about 600$ right now.
I AM working either 3 1/2 or 4 days this week. So I'll make another 180 this week to recoup my losses.

Another update on the money situation

Hey hombres y putas. Today, I went all the way to Waltham. It took me like an hour on the bus from downtown crossing, it was alful. Regardless, I made 85$ in two hours, so I can't really complain TOO much. So this brings my total as of right now to....546$!!!!!
That's a little over half. I've been considering downgrading slightly on what I buy with this fat load of cash. I was planning on getting a 003 Rack+ Factory, whereas the 003 Rack (no "+") is about two hundred dollars less. I think. *Checking* The difference is actually only 146$. So I'm not sure, thats not really much of a savings. The full price for the Rack+ is 1700$ and the full price of the Rack Factory is 1300$, so by buying the more expensive one, I would save 400$, and only save 150$ by buying the cheaper one. I'll think about it, 150$ is a decent amount of money. It could go toward my future drum set or the MircoKorg.
I'll figure it out later.
Also, I just remembered (probably for the umpteenth time,) I'll be getting another 100$ from Park St on the 30th or 31st, which would bring me to essentially 650. Which would leave me to make another 350$. PLUS, (remembered this too) I've got a 15$ check coming! I'M RICH BITCH! So the leaves 335$.
Random math time.
1 day at C&G=60$ so if I can jam in 3 days next week... leaves... 335-180=...155$.
So I need to get 155$ somehow.
Still have to list the air hockey table on craigslist. Call me if you're interested! 100$ firm.
Golf balls... ehhh..
Oh actually, if I get called back about the "candy/chocolate" study next week, that will be 100. So I think I can make it. Cross your fingers.

Money Update

So today, I sold an old stationary bike that's been in my basement for years.
Got 80$ from it. This makes my current total 325$. That is not counting the 300$ I will get from my parents when I reach the 1k$ mark. So essentially, I have 625$, which is almost half. I'll get more this weekend. Another 60$ or 120$ from workin with Pops, and hopefully a hundred from Park St. So that would at least bring me to 745$, or on the high end, 845$. Hopefully, the second. I think I've got another idea if anyone can help out, but I'll have to investigate first.
More later.
Edit: Just realized my dad owes me 30$ and i have a check for fifteen dollars. The actual current total is 370$.
